1/2 tsp of salt

2 3/4 cups of flour

- Zest and juice lemons - Cream butter, sugar, and zest together till light and fluffy, add eggs to mixture and mix well. Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together then add to mixture. Add milk and lemon juice and mix on medium speed for 2 minuets. Bake in 2 ten inch round pans for about 25 minets or when toothpick comes out clean and dry. While cooling poke small holes into cakes then gently brush the rest of the lemon juice on them. Take cakes out of pans after 8 mins. Pop cakes in freezer and make cream cheese frosting. Then frost and enjoy!!

Tip: If you want to stack the cakes put a layer of frosting between them so cakes are stable.
